Up to the early 1970s, the historic correlation between architecture and power were maintained. Since then, things have taken a strange turn.
I live in the "Heart of the Empire" if one is to believe the news. But really, if I was an alien observing from space and visiting, I would think certain cites in China, Paris (for sure - checkout La Defense), and London too belong to the "empire".
Too bad I won't live to read the scholarly historic paper addressing this strange disconnect in late 20th and early 21st century.
